Pre orders going on now, limited to 1500 total vinyl pressings. 500 starburst 1000 black. Great price, I love these guys and their PJ cover is one of the best I've heard and seeing it live is pretty rad too.

I don't really get the appeal of these guys. They're a pretty generic rock band in my opinion.
The above is probably fighting words round these parts, but, I am on the same page with ya.

Having to put all your faith
In no faith
Love this band, they maybe a generic rock band - however I don't always see that as a bad thing when they knock out fantastic tunes even from that mould
sometimes bands try too hard to be different, and that's when it all becomes pretentious shite
Yes it's available on cd as well.

Thanks to OP for heads up.
Beyond being generic, they just plain ol suck ass.
Sucks ass!?!? Let me guess your top three bands, Pearl Jam, Phish, String Cheese Incident.
I agree with you on that. NEVER got the appeal for this band.
Eddie Vedder- 7/16/11
Brad- 4/21/12 (RSD Performance), 4/27/12, 8/10/12
Flight To Mars- 5/23/12
RNDM- 11/27/12
PEARL JAM- 12/6/13 I have finally seen Pearl Jam live!
Also, does anyone else find it strange that their "B sides" record only has one B side? The rest are all covers and acoustic versions of their own songs.
Their music sounds really good in my earholes, but to each his own.
You're batman!- George
Yeah...yeah...I AM batman!!- Kramer
I just think their songs are boring and the singer sounds like a fart. I like plenty of bands that don't have mindblowing technical skills and I'd say most of them are more about the song as a whole than about cramming in highly technical parts that don't fit.
The thing about Hendrix and Zeppelin and the classic rock that is a big influence on PJ....They have great songs first and foremost, but they're also played with great musicianship. I'm not opposed to a great jam, but if it's not part of a great song, I'm not interested.
Also, I find it interesting that you categorize Springsteen with Social D and Dead Kennedys. To me he's much closer to the classic rock bands you mention. I'll also point out that the punk influence has inspired most of the PJ songs that rank really low for me.
Who was the person who kept swearing for sure TGA was the opening band for PJ on this tour?? How did that work out?

Thanks for this. I've never heard any of their albums, but I see people talking about them all the time here. That cover was definitely a carbon copy type of cover (not that there's anything wrong with that) although with this guy singing I can actually understand the words.. so I don't like it! :twisted: Just kidding. I enjoyed it.
Considering how often PJ does covers, I hope they appreciate other bands covering them.

Good question. They were also suggesting that they open for PJ AND play their version of SOLAT... before PJ comes on. Bad idea.
New Mexico Pearl Jam Fans (New Mexico, USA) on Facebook!
Exactly.
I'm surprised they didn't include a Lady Gaga cover, since according to Brian, that's more the course the band is on now.
Exactly!
No one has to like them. I just thing there is nothing generic about The 59 Sound. Yes it calls on major influences but there's plenty of great music that has. I think that album is almost like a concept album. It puts me in a great mood. There first album Sink or Swim is completely different than anything after also. I'm a big fan and yes I am one who thought they would open. There were legit reasons to think that. Who cares. If you don't like them you don't like them. We get it.
And the b-sides record is a cash grab by their old label like someone else said. In fact all it is is the b-sides of the previous cash grab by that label earlier in the year, which was basically a similar set to Sevens of all previously released songs. I don't believe it's even link from the actual Gaslight site. Just in case anyone wanted the facts before they over react.
I just bought this B-Side record from Side One Dummy. I've heard a few of these tracks, but I love vinyl and always look to add to the collection.
And as far as Side One Dummy going for the cash grab; Yeah, they probably are. But they're an indie record label with a lot great artists on their roster. Gaslight got pretty big, so they're capitalizing. I'm sure Gaslight gave them permission. Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music is on Side One Dummy and he / Hot Water are also big influences for Gaslight. Gaslight covers "Trusty Chords" and has toured with Chuck and Hot Water Music. I'm sure Gaslight is looking out for their peers and allowing Side One Dummy to make some money.
